Lam Research Software Engineer interview: code analysis, project presentation and a director round

After a recruiter screen, I had a technical discussion where I analyzed sample code. It felt like a direct way to assess how I read an implementation and reasoned about it.

About a week into the process, I went through a structured three-round loop. The hiring-manager screen covered my technical background and some behavioral questions. The onsite technical stage included a presentation about my projects, followed by several 30-minute interviews with team members. The final conversation was with a director and was mostly behavioral, focusing more on how I worked day to day.

The difficulty felt average, and the process was organized. I left thinking they had clear expectations for execution and communication as well as technical ability.
